XDAP2 PIT FIGHT GARL (Allies + 28) vs LA ARMADA INVENCIBLE (Axis)

[JuanSpain]

Rubioton needs review NCM

[rubioton]

Looks good.

Go ahead

[JuanSpain]

Hope all is great in your very spetial day and travel afterwards!! Hope Morocco is not too hot (just in terms of the climate…)

Going back to the game guys:

Japan is ready once you move Russia (we already discussed on it). When we slow down after this couple of days, we don´t have issues if you prefer a break or slowing down and continue analyzing the game together as you have done until now.

Next USA/UK after Spain battle this round is key and extremely difficult for you we believe. With no factories outside America, we see difficult for America to stop the Axis expansion. By the way Spain invaders finally recieved a little punishment (2 hits per unit on 1 round) so that they know what they should not have done.  KILL KILL KILLLLLL

Very interesting to see what you have in mind for this USA/UK turn in Europe in any case, we might be surprised again by an acute move like others you have done, spetially in Asia. We still have game and will keep focused, so as we said, if after this round you still see options and you prefer maximum focus and time together on your side too, we have no issues with a slow pace.

We agree the situation looks very… bleak… but we are hopeful for a good fight in Egypt, with all LL rolls going to us lol.

and maybe Sydney too LOL!

We may have to give up spain after all Karl :(

[Gargantua]

Karl to check RUS NCM, but I think it should be ok.

The big question is if we pull out our Indian planes to go for Africa/EGY.

[Karl7]
